Jaggery

Jaggery works the dreamy, dramatic edge of avant-garde chamber rock. Combining elements of jazz, classical, world, and pop sensibilities, the Boston band's “exquisite, lush . . . audacious aesthetic” (Stereogum) and compelling frontwoman ("One of the most beautiful voices in modern music" - The Oedipus Project) have garnered a strong local following, and national and international praise. Tonight the band appears in trio formation.
